How to find, Price and Negotiate Development projects

Paul Higgs MRICS has purchased, gained planning for and built over 6,500 residential units and 1,000,000sq/ft of commercial space over a 35 year career.



Paul will help you understand that every property development project starts life as a site (land), with or without existing buildings, which must first be identified and then either controlled or acquired. Once secured, the development then needs to be designed in the optimal way to maximise value and achieve the very best planning permission, because the most significant proportion of the value created from any real development project is added long before construction begins.

Whether you’re an experienced developer, a property trader, or just getting started on your property development journey, there are two closely related skill sets that differentiate the most successful from everyone else.

Paul offers a real insider’s understanding of the development process that will massively improve your skills at every stage.


The first critical skill-set is knowing exactly what to look for to identify real off-market deals, either for your own projects or on behalf of others, and how to then initiate and set up the deal. Once you have this knowledge, all your projects will get off to the best possible start.

The second, more complex, skill set is knowing exactly how to create the optimum design to maximise the value (and your profit) from any opportunity, whilst at the same time winning planning permission as quickly and easily as possible.

Paul will also answer all your questions live on the night.

We expect this to be an oversubscribed meeting so book early and send in your questions in advance so we can ensure they get answered for you.
